	It seems to me that the human conciousness is actually more
	of a C-n;  C-1 being "capable of experiencing sensation",
	C-2 being "capable of reasoning about being C-1", and C-n
	being "capable of reasoning about C-1..C-(n-1)" for some
	arbitrarily large n...  Or was that really the intent of
	the Minsky C-2?
